Cincinnati Reds’ fourth offseason priority – re-sign Alfredo Simon and Ross Ohlendorf to inexpensive contracts

The Cincinnati Reds have two free agent pitchers in Ross Ohlendorf and Alfredo Simon, who deserve another shot with the team. They both had their ups and downs this year. Being part of a horrendous bullpen for most of the season, means that there were more downs than ups.

Ohlendorf, for his part, was the best pitcher in the worst bullpen the first half of the season. He led the team in WHIP and had a disproportionate number of his runners score after he left the game. He lost his spot in the later innings to the dynamic duo of Raisel Iglesias and Michael Lorenzen in the second half of the season.
